Global Conference 2019

About Global Conference

What if the world today were, by almost every measure, safer, cleaner, healthier, wealthier, and better educated than it was 30 years ago? By several significant benchmarks, it is. But at a time when the path toward an increasingly equitable and more prosperous future remains too often opaque, seeing the world with new eyes becomes an invaluable skill.

The world is, indeed, better than we may think. But there is also an urgency to the work ahead, as the rapid pace of technological and social change serves up ever greater innovations and disruptions so quickly to so many. By what means will artificial intelligence change the nature of work, if not also the definition of what it means to be human? How will societies define shared values and respond to changing demographics and the need for greater inclusion? And what mechanisms will allow business and capital markets to most effectively build meaningful lives?

The Milken Institute’s 22nd Global Conference will bring together the leading minds in business, technology, government, media, philanthropy, health care, and entertainment to deliver novel, collaborative responses to these great questions of our time.
